The California Highway Patrol is seeking a driver of a hit-and-run collision along Highway 65 in Roseville on Saturday, according to a news release.

The suspect, described a 30- to 40 year-old white man with a medium build and a receding hairline driving a white Ford Explorer, swerved out of his lane and then abruptly back in, CHP said.
